On Sunday I was out in my PWC following all the boating laws as I always do. I came out from a no-wake area and began to speed up. Marine Patrol was alittle ways away. All of a sudden the blue light came on the patrol boat and he pulled me over. He said he thought from his vantage point that I had increased my speed while in the no-wake zone. I told him that i certainly hadn't and that I obey the rules while many many other boaters do not. I then pulled out the Boater's Guide of NH Handbook. I told him I always keep the handbook within reach. He seemed rather surprised that I had it with me. He said he was sorry and then left. On my return we passed and waved to each other. I guess it was just another day out on the lake!
